Holbrook Gun Club 
Holbrook, Ariz., Nov. n.—The first registered tour¬ 
nament of the Holbrook Gun Club was a pronounced 
success in every respect. The weather threatened, but 
was never uncomfortable. The number of shooters was 
a little short of expectations, but the local boys turned 
out en masse, and made a very good showing for the 
home club. On account of the success of this tourna¬ 
ment we are promised a much better attendance from 
California and southern Arizona next year. 
Mr. S. A. Huntley, of Kansas City, Mo., after hav¬ 
ing lost his fiftieth bird, broke his remaining ioo 
straight, thereby winning the seventh extra bar on his 
Du Pont 1913 long-run trophy. 
Immediately following the tenth event Capt. A. H. 
Hardy, of Denver, Colorado, gave his very entertaining 
exhibition of fancy shooting with shotgun, rifle and 
revolver. M. C. R.

NEMOURS (LADIES) GUN CLUB 
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 20 .—The fine weather yester¬ 
day afternoon brought out many ladies, both visitors 
and shooters. There were twenty-ifive in all and the

ing nineteen out of twenty-five straight-away targets. 
This was the highest score made on the grounds dur¬ 
ing the afternoon, and Mrs. Bradley was advanced 
from the B to the A Class. 
Mrs. Harry J. Stidham and Mrs. Bradley, with their 
handicaps, tied for the Ramsay medal, but in the shoot-

A Sportsmen’s Show for Sportsmen 
That the Travel Show is an assured success was 
amply demonstrated by the last exhibition, which proved 
to be a revelation to the New York public. The edu¬ 
cational value of this exposition has insured its per¬ 
manency as a necessary institution. 
Th Logical Fusion of the Sportsmen’s and Travel 
Shows combined with the reconstructive policy and pro¬ 
gressive ideas of the management will result in one. of 
the most complete and effective expositions of this kind 
ever held in New York. 
Forest and Stream, as the pioneer outdoor publica¬ 
tion in America, has always been an ardent exponent 
of sportsmen’s shows, as an excellent means of creat¬ 
ing a demand for outdoor equipment. Since the first 
Forest and Stream exhibit at the Centennial in Phila¬ 
delphia in 1876, the publishers have realized the value 
of ocular demonstration and personal contact as the 
best method of securing recruits for the vast army of 
American sportsmen. This year, the publishers of For¬ 
est and Stream have joined forces with the International 
Exposition 'Company of New York in an earnest en¬ 
deavor to produce "A Sportsmen’s Show for Sportsmen.” 
The Forest and Stream staff through many years of 
pleasant association with the sportsmen of the United 
States is particularly well equipped to plan a show 
of this kind which will insure a high-class attendance. 
The Purpose of This Show is to inculcate a desire 
for healthful outdoor recreation in the red-blooded man 
and boy, to give the beginner the benefit of the old 
timer’s experience and enable the true sportsman to 
intelligently plan a trip—from the selection of a water¬ 
proof match-safe to the delivery of his mounted trophy 
by the taxidermist. In order to have the Show fulfill 
the mission for which it is designed, it will be neces¬ 
sary to have every line of outdoor equipment and 
sportsmen’s appliances represented. 
The Management will spare no expense in scenic 
decorations and other attractive features, of an inspira¬ 
tional and educational nature, which will be in keeping 
with the spirit of a sportsmen’s exhibition. Every phase 
of outdoor life, from the pleasant summer camp of the 
vacationist, to the rugged winter lodge of the big 
game hunter, will be reproduced in detail. Some of 
the most prominent sportsmen in America, are co-operat¬ 
ing with the management in the exhibition of private 
collections, some of which the New York public has 
never before had an opportunity to view. 
The Co-operative Policy of the management will en¬ 
able every exhibitor to secure maximum returns on a 
minimum investment. Every foot of exhibition space 
will be suitably decorated by the management without 
extra charge to the exhibitor. A corps of well-known 
artists and scenic painters will assist the exhibitor in 
planning a rustic scene that will give a picturesque 
setting to the goods on display. 
SOME OF THE FEATURES. 
A Forest Scene covering many thousands of feet in 
which the topographical character of the principal big 
game countries of the United States and Canada will be 
accurately portrayed. 
A Complete Canadian Camp in which guides will 
give an active demonstration of life in woods. Reliable 
information will be furnished on the selection, care and 
use of camp equipment, and advice will be given on the 
first rudiments of woodcraft. 
An Unusually Fine Exhibition of live game fish, birds 
and animals, historical trophies and exploration equip¬ 
ment, private collections of taxidermy, etc. 
Trap Shooting Tournament on the roof of the Grand 
Central Palace under the auspices of Forest and Stream. 
There will be an unusually attractive program ar¬ 
ranged for amateurs and professions, with cash prizes, 
valuable silver cups, medals, etc. The Tournament will 
continue from March 5th to 14th and the traps will be 
in operation from 11 a. m. to 4 p. m., under the super¬ 
vision of experts. The management will take pains to 
provide for the comfort and convenience of the visitors 
and a record-breaking entry is expected. There will 
also be a Trap Shooters Service Bureau through which 
the beginner may gain an introduction to a local gun 
club or receive expert assistance in the organization of 
new clubs. 
Fly-Casting Tournament will be conducted by well- 
known followers of Izaak Walton, who have the inter¬ 
ests of the piscatorial art at heart. The appointments 
and arrangements will be most complete and many 
interesting events will be contested for valuable prizes. 
Informational Bureau conducted by Forest and 
Stream with the results of forty years’ experience and 
research at the sportsman’s service. Experts will be 
on hand to tell where to go, how to get there, what to 
take, in fact everything the beginner needs to know, in 
order to save time and needless expense and avoid dis¬ 
appointment. 
Illustrated Lectures, travelogues and motion pictures 
of fishing, big game hunting and camp life. There will 
be no charge for admission to these lectures, and certain 
afternoons will be set apart for the young folks. 
Forest, Fish and Game Conservation will be one of 
the most important features of the show. There will be 
a practical demonstration of the great work that has 
been accomplished by the different game protective and 
propagation societies and the sportsmen who visit the 
show will be encouraged to aid in this laudable under¬ 
taking. The absolute necessity of conservation will be 
exemplified by object lessons in the way of illus¬ 
trated lectures and exhibits of an interesting character. 
Guides in Camp from all parts of the United States 
and Canada. Most all of the big game sections will be 
represented by well-known men who will be prepared 
to give reliable information on game conditions, pros¬ 
pects of the coming season, etc. The sportsman will be 
able to have a “big smoke talk” with his favorite 
guide, and to make arrangements for his next trip. 
The Manufacturer and Dealer who is anxious to 
increase his business would do well to take an active 
interest in this exhibition. Aside from the advertising 
value of showing his goods to many thousands of picked 
people, the dealer undoubtedly will meet more real 
sportsmen and representatives of sportsmen’s organiza¬ 
tions than was ever before gathered together in New 
York City. 
The Attendance Feature is the most important factor 
in this exposition. In addition to a discriminate d,s- 
tribution of 100,000 tickets through the. exhibitors, the 
management has adopted methods that will enable us to 
guarantee satisfaction both as to quantity and quality. 
Through Forest and Stream, which is the official organ 
for more sportsmen’s organizations than any other pub¬ 
lication in this country, every club within reasonable 
traveling distance of New York will be invited to take 
part in some particular branch of the show. Attractive 
posters will be displayed from coast to coast in railroad 
terminals and sporting goods stores, and newspaper and 
appropriate magazines will also be used in the exten¬ 
sive publicity campaign that has been inaugurated. 
The progressive sporting goods manufacturer who co¬ 
operates with the management in an exposition of this 
kind will win the confidence of the dealer and thereby 
secure representation for his products. 
The up-to-date dealer who exhibits will get the 
benefit of the demand for his goods created by an in¬ 
spirational show of this character. 
Both should take advantage of the vast audience 
of Prospective Purchasers assembled through the fra¬ 
ternal bond of sportsmanship. The manufacturer will 
standardize his trade-mark by the general publicity 
resulting from the exhibition of his goods. 
The dealer needs new blood to stimulate his busi¬ 
ness. He will find hundreds of new customers at this 
show and can count on their cumulative business for 
years to come. The direct sales at this Show should 
cover the cost of his exhibit.
